Cebu City released its guidelines for the modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) to be implemented here from July 16 to 31.
Mayor Edgar Labella on Thursday, July 16, signed Executive Order No. 84, which took effect immediately.
MECQ is still a lockdown, but slightly relaxed.
Cebu City has been under lockdown since March 28, with one period of general community quarantine (GCQ) from June 1 to 15. It was during this period where infections accelerated and hospitals filled up to critical levels.
There have been slight improvements in the hospital utilization rate since. From 72% on average in mid-June, the isolation bed utilization in the city went down to 62% as of Wednesday, Department of Health Central Visayas Director Jaime Bernadas said.
Under MECQ, stay-at-home orders remain, but outdoor exercise is now allowed if people wear masks and stay two meters apart.
According to the EO, more mall stores will also be allowed to open in the city.
Quarantine passes, their coding schemes, and market coding days remain.
